simple bash script will do can run on the machine or another host
This will be psuodo code

#!/bin/bash

$result = curl -D - http://nagioshost/nagios/tac.cgi  |grep -v {some 
parameter}  #get the cgi to reply
 
if $result != (value we want)
       # nagios is down
       mail -s " Nagios is dead " your at email.here -c 
mobile at smsc.provider.com < /a/file/with/text


That is about the gist of it.
